Gapp, God of Fine Clothing: Often considered an elitist, Gapp and His priests make a point of being the best-dressed at any public function. The sense of style of His worshippers is as unquestionable as it is changeable, with new fashions tearing through His temples on a weekly basis. Gapp is a god who believes He is the best, and He knows how to dress properly for the position.
The most important of Gapp's commandments include: Thou shalt not go forth unclothed like the lesser beasts, unless My High Priest doth send you forth thus on My behalf, for infractions against My church such as over-dressing when in the presence of one holier than thou.
The current High Priest for Gapp is Juppie.
Gapp grants the Mend and Cool rituals to His followers.
Fashions
More or less once a week, Gapp chooses a material, two colours, and a decoration to be stylish. The current trends can be found in Gapp's finger information, and they're important because Gapp's Totem item is a piece of stylish clothing. Gappics can also get a bonus to rituals by wearing three items of stylish clothing.
He announces it on the talker when the fashion changes:
(Gapp) Gapp, God of Fine Clothing wisps: I now favour habiliments fashioned from cashmere and enjoy the effect created using pearls. Blue and mauve would look particularly fetching, too. (Gapp) Gapp, God of Fine Clothing wisps: Darlings, you'd better work!
Things He's chosen in the past have been:

An item doesn't need to have all three properties at once to be stylish--one is enough.

Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore. ) stylish items of clothing.

Gapp's passage room and Guido's room in the Temple of Small Gods count as "stylish surroundings". It's uncertain what else does.
